How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Ha, then I'll offer my humble opinion."

Hei Xiaolong rubbed his nose, revealing a sunny smile, and said confidently, "I've heard about it all. On the day my little niece was born, it was snowing heavily and the weather was freezing. The lightning tribulation was terrifying and powerful. So I thought, how about naming her Hei Shuang Jie (Black Frost Tribulation)? It's domineering and incredibly handsome. Just saying the name will scare a bunch of people to death. It's simply..."

"Ahem, um, Xiaolong..."

Hei Yang couldn't help but give a polite yet elegant, slightly awkward smile, saying, "This name, Hei Shuang, Hei Shuang Jie... isn't it a bit too, too much..."

"Huh? Which one?"

Hei Xiaolong looked puzzled: "Doesn't it sound good?"

"To be honest, I don't know if it can scare a bunch of people to death, but it almost scared the two of us to death."

Hongli chuckled and revealed her crescent-shaped eyes, only to realize that she had been too childish just now. Really, why was she arguing with a child?

"I think the name Black Frost Calamity is a bit too stimulating for a girl, or rather for my little girl."

Hei Yang politely declined, saying, "Let's just call her Hei Xiaoxue. Hmm, that's a nice name, and it sounds friendly."

"Huh?! But, but..."

Hei Xiaolong looked incredulous and said, "How can such a simple name be the protagonist? In those handsome novels and biographies, there aren't many protagonists named Zhang San or Li Si, are there?"

"The less a name resembles that of a novel's main character, the better!"

Hong Li said directly and confidently, "The name Xiao Xue sounds like a child who can live a peaceful and stable life. The protagonist of the novel only looks glamorous, but little do people know how much suffering he has gone through and how many loving parents have been sacrificed behind that glamour!"

"what?"

A question mark popped up on Hei Xiaolong's head.

"Ahem, well, you don't need to understand what your sister-in-law is saying. Just know that we have our reasons for choosing names."

Seeing that Hei Xiaolong hadn't kept up with Hong Li's pace, Hei Yang coughed twice to help him come back to his senses and then commented on his remarks.

"First of all, I don't think the name Xiaoxue is as simple as you say. Obviously, my Xiaoxue's name has more strokes."

Hei Yang revealed his crescent-shaped eyes: "Secondly, I will tell Uncle that you secretly spoke ill of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li behind their backs, which is not very polite."

"Oh, no, it can't be that bad..."

Hei Xiaolong's expression froze.

"What do you say?"

Hei Yang smiled and said, "I heard from Sister Xiaoqi that my uncle and his wife have always been most afraid that their child will be corrupted by bad teenagers while practicing cultivation outside, and become an ill-mannered child."

And to slander elders behind their backs, even if they are paid to do things for us, they still watched us grow up, didn't they?

Do you think my uncles and aunts might feel that this matter "isn't worth" bringing up?

"Ah, this..."

Hei Xiaolong was silent for half a second, then chuckled awkwardly, "Ahaha, well, Brother Hei Yang, I just had some new insights into cultivation, and I have to go into seclusion to digest them right now, so I'll have to go on from here. Ahahaha, you can understand, right? Cultivation is like that, a flash of inspiration comes and goes, hahaha..."

Anyway, thank you for your congratulations.

Hei Yang waved with a smile and said, "Come visit me at home sometime!"

"Okay, okay, that's all for now. Let's chat again next time, Brother Heiyang!"

Hei Xiaolong abruptly ended the communication, even inviting Hei Yang to chat again next time.

"Ha, even in this panic he's still thinking about his brother. Xiaolong really idolizes you."

Hongli clicked her tongue: "Luckily it's a boy, and a relative within five degrees of kinship."

"Alright, alright, stop being jealous over nothing, my dear wife."

Hei Yang chuckled and whispered, "I heard from Sister Xiaoqi that there's a girl in the Wood Department of the Five Elements Sect who has a crush on Xiaolong. She's even started taking steps to get closer to Sister Xiaoqi..."

"Huh, really? Is that true?"

Hongli gasped, "What did you say?"

"I told Sister Xiaoqi that I thought this was unlikely."

Hei Yang spread his hands: "Xiao Long, that little brat, was taken to the mountain to cultivate when he was young. The only thing he has a deep connection with is probably that Brother Hei Yang used to play with him all the time when he was a child. So he thinks that Brother Hei Yang is the best to him besides his parents and master. In reality, apart from his family and master, he has not had contact with many people."

So I only cared about that child a little before, but my goodwill towards him grew infinitely.

Similarly, because he only saw you a few times when you looked fierce, he magnified your terror in his mind.

Because he hasn't met many people, one person can often represent the entire group in his mind. For example, when he thinks about the people who take him out to play, he can only think of me, and that I'm fierce. Xiao Li, you become the fiercest person in his mind. And all his understanding of scary and bad people is based on that most terrifying image, which is why he's demonized.

"So, Xiaoli, you probably understand what I mean by that."

Hei Yang paused for a moment, then concluded, "That child is not only emotionally blank, but his life is almost entirely blank except for his cultivation."

Before gaining more experience, he would find it difficult to handle the inexplicable and special affection a girl might have for him, and would most likely make a mess of it.

And the elders, as his masters, would probably see this too, and wouldn't just let it go. Before any deep emotional exchange, the elders would definitely try to mature Xiaolong. That's why I said trying to get close to Xiaolong through Sister Xiaoqi is highly unlikely. Can a girl close to Xiaolong's age possibly outsmart elders with hundreds of years of life experience?

"Ah, could this be the legendary elders beating up a couple, their rigidity unable to tolerate free love?"

Hong Li's eyes lit up, and a bunch of melodramatic scenarios instantly popped into her mind.

"Xiaomei! Xiaomei, how could you be so foolish! Xiaomei! Why did you do this for me!"

"Little Dragon... I'm sorry, because your master told me not to tell you... but now I want to tell you myself..."

"Master! Please, please save Xiaomei!"

"She broke our agreement. Saving her is possible, but..."

How could you be so heartless!

"Hmph, I'm doing this all for your own good..."

"We might as well abandon the Five Elements Sect!"

"It's rebelled! It's rebelled! It's gone beyond the Five Elements..."

"Xiao Li? Hello, Xiao Li?"

Hei Yang gently tapped Hong Li's head: "Come back to your senses! Come back to your senses!"

"Huh? You're actually a dragon... Pshaw!"

Hongli suddenly snapped out of her daze and almost blurted out the lines she was thinking of, but thankfully she reacted in time.

However, when she turned her head and saw Hei Yang's teasing expression, she immediately understood that Hei Yang had guessed what she was thinking.

"how?"

Hei Yang teased playfully, "Xiao Long became obsessed with love and broke with his sect, but by chance, he was reborn from the ashes and returned to seek revenge... Hmm, let me think, shouldn't the next part of the plot say that the girl didn't really die back then, and returned to Xiao Long's side in hiding, with all sorts of revenge, betrayal, love, and hatred?"

"Haha, well, I haven't thought that far ahead yet!"

Hongli blushed, couldn't help but reveal her round eyes, and chuckled awkwardly as she argued, "It's just that the sense of déjà vu is so strong that it makes people's imaginations run wild..."

Besides, don't always read my mind so clearly! Even if you do, don't just say it out loud. Don't I have any pride?

"You still want to save face in front of me?"

Hei Yang looked puzzled.

"Ah, this..."

Hong Li's lips twitched, she coughed, and put on a serious expression: "After all, I am a mother of two children, so I should at least have some composure and reliability about me."

"You're so quick to break my composure. It's fine when it's just the two of us, but in front of the children, it really ruins the authoritative aura I'm trying so hard to maintain!"

"Yes, yes, Lady Hongli is the most composed."

Hei Yang casually agreed, pretending not to see Hong Li's fierce expression. He looked at Xiao Xue, who was sleeping soundly not far away, and suddenly thought of something. He said with some worry, "I just said that Xiao Long is bad at socializing and lacks life experience. What about our two daughters?"

Shouldn't we expose them to more of the world's dangers and the true beauty of humanity, letting them discuss all sorts of people? Otherwise, what if they're easily deceived in the future?

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hongli paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "But is it really necessary?"

"Of course, many well-behaved girls are easily led astray by others. This is mostly because their parents protect them too much, which can backfire. Once they come into contact with things they haven't been exposed to before, they can easily be led by the nose by others!"

Hei Yang said with a serious expression, "We might be able to protect the children for a lifetime, but ultimately the children still have to grow up on their own, don't we?"

"Well……"

Hongli paused, then suddenly said, "It's like how saintesses in books are more prone to ( ) corruption and ( )?"

"Don't use such strange metaphors, you idiot!"

Hei Yang, exasperated, patted Hong Li's head and said irritably, "We're being serious!"

"Seriously speaking..."

Hong Li paused, then held up her finger and said, "Actually, it's not like Hei Xiaolong is the only one who hasn't had much social interaction since we were little. We can't be too absolute. Look, we don't interact much with other people besides each other, but we're doing just fine now, aren't we?"

"It's because I've seen some things in another world before. Although I'm quite rusty in this area because I've focused on my studies, that world had an information explosion, and it was easier to see biodiversity... cough cough..."

Hei Yang paused, then turned to look at Hong Li, his expression strange, and said, "As for you, are you sure you're alright?"

"Huh? Huh?"

Hong Li looked bewildered and asked nervously, "What... what could be wrong with me?"

"What do you say?"
